Duo Perdendosi is back to open Windwood Music Festival’s 2023 Edition: “A Fair to Remember”!

Performing as Duo Perdendosi, violinist Maitreyi Muralidharan and pianist Tong Wang raise the curtain on the 2023 Windwood Festival with a new, thrilling musical storytelling concert. The Duo will take you along an original fairy tale from the enchanted forests of the Czech Republic and the mystical Yangzi River of the East China Sea through to bewildering drama inside “Howl’s Moving Castle”. Finally, with your help to sound the fairy godmother’s magical triangle, we come back and around again, home to Windwood, where Fauré’s luscious Violin Sonata sweeps the fantastical memories into the breeze of the open air.
